Introduction
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with
wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

• When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of
the speaker terminals: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it
may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the
following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the
TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing
the speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers
away from the TV.

JVC’s TV with simple operations; by starting playing back
a disc, the TV automatically turns on and changes the input
mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the
playback picture.
To use AV COMPU LINK, you need to connect the unit and
the TV by using a cord with monaural mini-plugs (not
supplied) in addition to the connection with a video cord (see
page 4).

Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Before Operating the System (see pages 8 to 11)
Playable Disc Types:
• If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to
“PAL,” you can watch the playback pictures (the disc will
be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but the TV screen
may roll over upward and downward rapidly.
• If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to
“NTSC,” you can watch the playback pictures, but the
following symptoms may occur:
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown
slightly shifted when highlighted.
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the
original aspect ratio.
– The picture movement is not smooth.
• About audio format
– Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
– Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel
encode to create the realistic surround sound.
– DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.,
which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
– When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded by MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio
compression system that can completely recreate the
PCM signal), the signals recognized as the linear PCM
signal, however, no indicator lights up in the display
window.
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 12 to 16)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual
operations may be different from what is explained in this
manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such
differences are not a malfunction of this System.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play
back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and
the System plays back the left front and right front signals.
46
• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback...
– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout
time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and
will be skipped. This results from their recording
processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files with
the extension code <.mp3>, <.wma> or <.jpg>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc
trays, they are played in sequence as follows:
Ex.:When DISC 2 is pressed:
DISC 2]DISC 3]DISC 4]DISC 5]DISC 1
(then stops)
* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is
skipped.

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,
tapes, and mechanism clean.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
